Jack Lew, President Obama's reported pick to replace outgoing Treasury secretary Tim Geithner, is known as a no-nonsense backroom negotiator with wonkish tendencies, who is admired on the left and grumbled about on the right.

A lesser-known but extremely pertinent fact about Lew is that he has the world's worst signature. And pretty soon, that signature could be on every single one of your dollar bills.

If Lew is confirmed as Treasury secretary, his signature will occupy the lower-right-hand spot on U.S. paper currency. And that signature, which was widely mocked when it surfaced on a September 2011 memorandum, is legitimately crazy.

Here are some things it reminds us of:

– a Slinky that has lost its spring

– one of those Crazy Straws you get at Six Flags

– Sally Brown's hair in Peanuts

– a slip of paper in Office Max that people use to try out new pens

Clearly, Lew will need to upgrade his penmanship, à la Geithner, before he even thinks about touching the dollar bill. Minting a trillion-dollar coin seems absolutely reasonable, as fiscal policy plans go, compared to having this childish loop-de-loop plastered all over the legal tender of the United States.

That's the kind of signature you'd expect from a 5 year old with ADHD :lol:

Besides the first two letters it's completely nonsensical

Only if I squint my eyes really hard. It's like he speed in the snow one day drunk as a skunk and decided that will be my signature.

Lew is a massive fucking liar. He told the American people that Obama's budget wouldn't add to the national debt. A total crock of shit. Watch this video.

Jack Lew's million-dollar bailout bonus

http://washingtonexaminer.com/jack-lews-million-dollar-bailout-bonus/article/2518076#.UO7jG654FnN



Obama’s nominee for Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is a revolving-door lobbyist who worked at Citigroup in 2008, and then got a $944,518 check from the failed bank on January 15, 2009, according to his financial disclosure statement. That was just weeks after Congress passed the Wall Street bailout, funneling $45 billion in taxpayer money to the bank.

Also, in the 1990s, Lew worked at K Street lobbying firm Van Ness Feldman.

This certainly undercuts Obama’s talk about closing the revolving door, keeping out lobbyists, and standing up to Wall Street.
